day 43 of 57: Bed-time Country Western

    So on day 43 of 57 we took the little rescued Shih Tzu to the Humane Association when it opened, and I went to work for the first time in nearly 2 weeks. I hope my little buddy finds his people, but if not, maybe he'll find a new home with me? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Well, After a long day of doing - I usually have long days of doing - and not making it out to my friend's show because I was just exhausted, the last thing done before tucking myself in for the night was taking pictures of the day's dress with my childhood stuffed animal friend, "Bunny"--creative name, I know.
    This is a shirt dress Jason got me at Hip Replacements in Asheville, NC. This is such a flirty little mini dress. It has a Country-Western flair that I really like. The dress is olive green with contrasting floral print that capes around the shoulder line, upper back and under the collar, and pipes along the skirt hem and the cuffs. All of the buttons also coordinate with the same floral material. The dress has a empire waist, and the bodice has 2 breast pockets. There's an exposed yellow side zipper too. All I can say is this dress is hot!

Day 14 of 57: Pearls and Polka-dots Are A Girls Best Friend

    Day 14 of 57 Days of Dresses is a fabulous '50s-inspired A-line shirt-dress. After a hard day's interning at the Scene, and a work meeting right after that, I went over one of my girlfriend's place and we hit the pool! Thanks to Erin for taking these photos in her bedroom doorway!

    I got this dress as a gift from Jason's mom. It's black with white polka-dots. The polka-dots are in perfectly straight rows and columns, which creates an interesting geometric effect. The skirt hits slightly above the knee and there are three black buttons on the shirt that end at the empire waist. The dress also has belt loops, which I have a vegan patent leather waist belt slipped through it, accompanied with patent leather kitten heels, and pearls, pearls, pearls! Pearls around my wrist, pearls around my fingers, pearls around my neck and pearls in my ears. I love this dress! Enjoy!
